I've been watching your TW200 videos for about the last six months, and I have to say, that the two things I enjoy the most about them are the positive attitude and curiosity, even in the face of adversity, and the way you break down jobs on a motorcycle that make them seem doable for the uninformed (me), whether it's for a TW or for any basic bike.

Something that will help with your light bar is use a plain hollow spacer instead of a threaded spacer. You can pinch the spacer for a tighter fit. Just add a lock-washer to keep vibrations from backing it out. I look forward to seeing more of your van build.

Thanks!

Those spacers were kind of weird. I would probably just drilled them out and get rid of the threads and I would make sure are used Loctite. Lol. One thing that would be cool with that light would be to build a front rack and integrate that light with it, that way if you’re driving you can put a bunch of stuff on the front rack and not have to worry about covering your headlight because you still have this so other drivers could see you and you could see at night still, and with the way that bracket is it would be really easy to mount that to any kind of rag. I’d also consider putting one on back if you did a bunch of trail riding. I know in my 85 forerunner that getting out on a trail at night and having a back through trees is almost impossible, I’ve done it but I have dants from it. Lol. After the first one I put a nice big light on the back and I don’t use it often but it makes a huge difference. I can imagine being nice on a bike needing to back up and it would just be nice to have some good light behind you. Another useless piece of advice. When you use a zip tie to just get your bunch of wires together like you mentioned as you were putting it back together, if you were to use a white or red or just a different color in general in there you know which one it cut quickly next time you had to get in there and work on stuff. 🤔

@TDubsKid

Жыл бұрын

Yeah I thought about drilling out the treads, but wasn’t sure if the bolts would loosen up. Great idea, someone does make front racks for the tw would be easy to add a light bar to it. Thats a good idea for sure, I have some colored ones at work
